what is ther to say about this beer? it’s only downside is it’s hard to find unless you hail from the southeastern United States. Briliant taste is intensified with the exhalation of some killer dank smoke. The best beer to go with any buds. I admit it’s downgraded from a 5 to about a 3.5 without the additon of marijuana. Is this why they call it 420 ale... They claim cause it was first brewed on april 20th.. .but then again don’t their tours start at 4:20 too. If you like bud, try this beer. if not try it anyway! if you can find it.

Great drinking beer. Reward yourself with a frost mug sensation. Pure Bliss. Go to Mellow Mushroom and enjoy a draft. Best local beer hands down.

I serve this on tap at home, an excellent beer, forms a nice head if poured down the middle of a shaker glass. this will dissipate, but it leaves very nice lacings, which should be recaptured by lightly swirling. Great Hot Wather Beer!

Nice clean golden color. Perfect head and even better taste. Hoppy aroma and aftertaste. Nice example of a pale ale.

Wow! How can I explain it? This is the most full-flavored, smoothe, aftertaste-free beer you will ever drink!
